AM radio broadcasters are calling on U.S. farmers to support a piece of legislation that’s received bipartisan support from members of Congress.
People within the broadcasting industry want farmers to support the AM for Every Vehicle Act.
“Without farmers I don’t think this legislation would have any chance,” Brian Winnekins, a spokesperson for the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB), and the owner of WRDN in Durand, Wis., told Farms.com.
Carmakers like Volvo, Mazda, Tesla and Audi have dropped AM receivers from some electric models.
Ford originally announced it would remove AM radio from all vehicles but backtracked on it.
